Questions to ask about price
- What is the discount for annual billing, and can we start monthly?
- How much can the price rise at renewal, and is the increase capped in the contract?
- Are there one-time costs for implementation, onboarding or data migration?
Is Odoo worth the price?
Odoo is good value for a small company that can live with one app for free, or that wants all apps for under EUR 20 per user per month. It gets expensive once you need Studio, multi-company or the external API, which all require Custom. Budget for onboarding too, since Success Packs and partner work are not part of the subscription price.
Worth it if
- Small companies that start with one free app.
- Teams comfortable with partner or Success Pack onboarding.
Look elsewhere if
- Odoo Online users who need custom or App Store modules (not supported on Odoo Online)
Pricing details most reviews leave out
- One App Free allows unlimited users on a single app; installing a second app forces Standard.
- Standard and Custom show a 12-month introductory discount for initial users (EUR 24.90 and 44.90 list).
- Studio, multi-company and external API need the Custom plan.
- Odoo Online does not support custom or App Store modules.
- Support is email, Monday to Friday, in English, French, Spanish or Dutch.
Our verdict on Odoo
Odoo is one of the few business suites with a genuinely free entry point. The One App Free plan allows unlimited users on a single app. Installing a second app moves you to Standard at EUR 19.90 per user per month, and Custom costs EUR 35.90 per user per month. Prices are shown in euros on the vendor site, and no USD price is published.
G2 shows 4.3 from 318 reviews. The headline prices come with caveats. Standard and Custom show a 12-month introductory discount for initial users, with list prices of EUR 24.90 and EUR 44.90, and it is unclear whether the figures are monthly or annual billing. Implementation, hosting for custom development and in-app credits are not included.
